In the video shared on Thursday, May 18, 2023, the 22-year-old TikToker remarked that her injuries would have been worse if not for the bodysuit she was wearing underneath her clothes. According to news reports from the day, she suffered from a ruptured bladder and cracked pelvis.

"Kim Kardashian saved my life... It was so tight on me that it literally kept me from bleeding out... Call it fate or Jeasus, but Imma call it Kim," she announced.

Wiley concluded her post by thanking Kim and adding she would buy more and wear it every day for protection as it was like "armor for women."

Netizens, however, did not seem to agree with the TikToker and promptly took to social media to make light of the claims. One even deemed it an act of God.
